Ahhh... my teeth are sore. That dental hygienist was not very gentle. *shudder* I can still feel that picky thing poking at my gums. Not a pleasant feeling. All through the cleaning i just kept thinking... when is it gonna be over? I always go to the dentist not expecting it to be that bad. But then it always is ...

It's tuesday. I'm supposed to hear if i got the jobs by tomorrow. *SiGh* Somehow i dont think that'll happen. Bummer.. i better get ready to send out another round of resumes.

June is coming to an end. And really.. half the summer is over. I find myself looking fwd to school already. Just to have a steady schedule.. plans to keep up.. deadlines to meet. And to have my own room again too. That's what i want the most. Mmm.. my own room ...yeaaa.

JJ interview was this morning... It went ok i think. It's hard to judge... I think sometimes i tend to remember the good parts more than the bad and that means my overall general perception of the thing isn't entirely right. That happens with exams and stuff too...lol. They asked some kinda hard questions and i was like "umm..uuhh..." But i quickly recovered after each stutter. Gracefully? I dunno..haha.

Girlos night pics are up ...

Just finished reading The Notebook. Good book... Can't wait to see the movie now. I didn't know it was coming out so soon. Today is the premiere date. High expectations for it tho... Maybe it does stand a chance against A Walk to Remember? Haha... Click here to check out the trailer ...

Girlos night tonight. Bowling and bbt ...always a good time :)

Got home from sleepover today only to bum around a little more. We had a chinese movie fest last night. 3 in total ...wah. Chinese movies are great. LoL. I especially find it funny when they swear in english unnecessarily. HAHAHAHA.

I started reading The Notebook again due to the upcoming movie premiere. I had started reading it a long time ago.. sometime in OAC or gr. 12 i think. But being me...i never finished it. I always do that...start books and never finish them. When i saw the commercial for The Notebook tho... i figured i should read it b4 i go see it. Another Nicholas Sparks novel made into a movie. I dont think ne thing could ever beat A Walk to Remember tho :)

Ah.. reading over this ...it seems as tho movies are starting to dominate my life.

"What do u wanna do tonight?"
"Let's watch a movie."
"OK"

The story of my life as of now. How sad.

My Jacob Jr interview has been rescheduled to saturday. Aaahh i wanna just do it. How do i get them to hire me without seeming overly enthusiastic about it? Or is that the way to go...? Hmmm ...

So the interview went ok today... It didn't really feel like an interview cuz the guy just talked a lot about the position. I guess i got off easy. I guess i should clarify what the position is for. It's a student position at the ECCCA (Essex County Chinese Canadian Association). So everything about the job sounds pretty good... except for the having to speak chinese part. Yes i can speak it..but fluently? No. *SiGh* I can just hear my parents right now... "you should have stuck with chinese school!". NO FANK YOU.

I have another interview this friday tho... with JACOB JUNIOR!!! Ahh my dream job lol. Working there would be so great... Getting discount at my FAVOURITE store? YES FANK YOU!! So i have to wait to see how that goes and then contact the ECCCA guy. Ahh the possibilities...it's aaall up in the air.

So i guess i failed to mention that my grandma didn't end up coming back to windsor with my parents. In fact...it was just my dad who came back. Mom had to stay in TO with grandma. Sigh.. i knew it was too good to be true. I dunno what her deal is...can't even come to windsor for a couple weeks. It's putting a lot of stress on my parents i think... Why must she be so difficult? Well on the brighter side...she's doing better.

We're shafting the fireworks tomorrow ...first time in a few years. I guess it's nothing that special. They'll come again next year...

Good weekend in Waterloo ... Hanging out with ada, ada, and emily was fun. I felt kinda sick all weekend tho so that put a damper on things but i made it through! We did the typical stuff whenever we get together... talk, eat, movies, eat, shop, eat. Haha ...good times all around. Got a chance to see what life would be like in loo .. not too shabby. They have one thing that windsor and london definitely don't have. A cool flea/farmers market in St. Jacob. Hmm i will post the pictures soon ...

I watched Gigli in spite of everyone's warning. Worst movie ever made? Mmm... i don't think so. Good movie? Kinda stretching it... buuut...i dunno. I realized on the weekend tho that i rarely don't enjoy movies. Whenever ppl say "oh that movie sucked" i'm usually the one to give it the benefit of the doubt and say "that was good". Meaning...i enjoy/like a lot of movies. Even the ones that most ppl find unenjoyable. *shrug* I've been watching too many tho... i need to cut down.

I have a job interview tomorrow. Bright and early at 8:30am. Wow.. haven't been up that early in ages. I hope i can function properly lol.

AH...AH...AAAaaahHH!! We bought the tickets for Switchfoot tonight. We are ACTUALLY GOING!! It's REALLLY gonna happen!!! WAAAHHH... I'm so excited! Some pretty fast paced decision making going on...we get the info yesterday and then we buy the tickets today. Ya..that's the stuff. None of our usual sitting around and talking about everything but the topic at hand ... and blocking the hallway while we try and figure out where we're going ... or walking and stopping at every doorway to block the traffic flow even more. Haha... oh wait that's deciding where to go for lunch after church. But that's pretty much how we handle every decision we have to make ...?

Talkin to angela ... and we realized this is gonna be our first concert ever. Haha and our first time ever in a club. Yea we really dont take advantage of being 19. EVER lol. Can we BE ne more lame? LoL.

Loo tomorrow...WooHOO!

**NEWSFLASH** Thanx to angela with her pro search skills... i now have Switchfoot concert details!! Here they are ... click it!

Switchfoot Concert

Well Core reunion was a success last night. It was awesome seeing everyone again... catching up. And the BEST part ... our teacher showed up! Madame Charlton came and met us at Bowlero!!! One of our core members had bumped into her and invited her to come. Aww it was so cool seeing her again. After lounging at Bowlero for awhile (and we didn't even bowl) we headed to Joses for half-price appetizers. MMmmm they have good pina coladas yum. Ahh i love reminiscing about good times. Lookin fwd to our next reunion this summer :)

So i am going to Loo this weekend with ada. Lookin fwd to going somewhere else for a few days. Somewhere away for here...

My parents are coming back this weekend too. They've been in TO with my grandma this week. And my grandma is actually gonna come back with them!! I can't believe it...that stubborn soul is actually leaving toronto. You see she's getting old now...so she needs my mom to take care of her. We've been wanting her to come live with us for soooo long but she's refused every time we ask her. She's the most hard headed woman ever. I pray for her salvation ...

I have the option of going to Waterloo this weekend. Ada's going to visit Ada. Haha..yes both their names are ada. It'll be fun to see Ada Wong again. Aaahh..what's holding me back? Perhaps the money issue. My lack of it...lol. Haven't asked my parents yet either but that's never really stopped me in the past. I think i'll probably end up going...

Plans for another London trip aaand Toronto trip are in the making too... In the meantime i still don't have a job. What's wrong with me? I really need one yet i won't get off my butt to GET one. AIya. I need a job to earn $$ in order to go on these trips. But having a job could possibly hinder my plans to go on these trips. Eek it's a vicious cycle...

CORE REUNION tonight!! I'm not as excited for it as i was b4..maybe cuz i know some ppl can't make it. But it's ok.. it'll be cool nonetheless to see everyone again :)

Puzzles are fun. Didn't know they could be that addicting. I want to keep doing it...but my eyes..my neck aaaahh. And plus it's at ah ba's place so i can't really just do it whenever i want. Hahaha...

So this weekend was pretty good. Found out about Switchfoot which just made my day. I really hope the tickets (if there even are any cuz it's @ the Drink) aren't that pricey and there are no major complications. That's gonna make my summer.

AAaaaaannnd as of yesterday...plans for a CORE FRENCH REUNION are in place for this tuesday!! YAAAAAAAAAAY!! Haha...it's my french class from high school. We were like a family. From grade 11 to OAC we turned french class into a rare and treasured experience. We did absolutely nothing in that class except have fun. Euchre, crepes, scrabble, fondue ... oh and countless other random (but AWESOME) memories!! I'm lookin fwd to it :) I hope everyone can make it or we might have to reschedule ...

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH SWITCHFOOT IS GONNA BE IN LONDON ON JULY 8!!!!!! Anyone wanna go??? LET ME KNOW!! Don't know the details yet but hopefully soon :) :) :)

It's been so long since I have met You here
Since I have said these words and cried these tears
And like a child would come I run into our secret place
And as the music fades the tears are rolling down my face

I am alive in this moment
In this moment I am found
I am alive in this moment
In this moment I belong

It's been so long since I have met You here
Since I have heard You speak and let You hear
And like a wayward son I've come with nothing left to hide
Here in this moment I have come to offer up my life

Here only one fire burns and burns
Here only one melody is heard
Once again for the very first time
My eyes are opening ...

OH MY GORSH... Why am i still up? I get these sporadic bouts of "insomnia" from time to time. I usually just lie in bed until i eventually fall asleep after much struggling. But this time i actually got up and came online. Arrr what is going on. Thank God i'm not like this all the time. But i wonder what brings about these battles for sleep. Hmm...i can't really determine a pattern. It couldn't be stress? Or getting TOO much sleep in prior nights...? I don't think so cuz this has happened when those 2 were not the case. Someone give me a diagnosis!

Wooow...the Lord's faithfulness continually astonishes me. Last night after i went offline i spent some quality time with the Lord. And He began to show me soooo many awesome things through His word. *Sigh* It was just so cool...the sense of peace and joy that came over me. I really just love how He slaps me in the face with all this goodness right after i complained about how i couldn't deal with my own neglect for Him. Heha.

This is my song of praise to You
For who you are and all that You do
From the moment my life began
You have been faithful...

Well...the last couple days have been pretty cool. Lots to do unlike the beginning of the week :P Sleepover was fun...watched a pretty freaky movie. Very unexpected. Bob Dutko was goooood. He shared a lot of great arguments that totally bring down evolution. Gotta get Victoria's notes... On saturday i spent a rather peaceful afternoon on the deck b4 heading to Victoria's for dinner/strawberry fest/hockey game. I was so not into the hockey game (so sue me!) But i KNEW they weren't gonna win. Game 7 was inevitable... Just a feeling i had.

At our sleepover on thursday night we had a bible study in the midst of everything. It was reeally good. A lot better then i expected considering none of us prepared anything. We just took a chapter and read it...dissected it and talked. We decided to
start going through the minor prophets. So we're starting from Malachi and working backwards. You never know what kinda good stuff u can find in those books. Altho we take a lot of the stuff we read in the bible out of context...i think it's important to do so in order to put things into our own perspective. For example Malachi chapter one talks about "blemished sacrifices" that can be easily be likened to our own everyday so-called "sacrifices" to God. You'd have to read it to know what i'm talking about. Makes me kinda frustrated at how us humans continually bring CRAP (well u know what i mean) to our God when he gave us His most prized possession and continues to bless us over and over with things we hardly deserve. AUUUARUGH...! WHY? How come it's SOOO HARD??

"Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. For I am a great king," says the Lord
Almighty, "and my name is to be feared among the nations."
Malachi 1:14

Why do we keep giving Him our second, third, fourth or even fifth best effort when we should be giving Him our EVERYTHING? *Sigh* Something i'm struggling with at the moment.

Hahaha...christine made this AWESOME animation of us throwing a boulder into Lake Louise on our trip. Hope it works... GREEEEEAT JOB CHICK! I LUW EET!!! :)



Yea that was good times...!

I got to hang out with my best friends from highschool last night again after not seeing them for a long time. One of them i haven't seen since christmas! Awww i had forgotten what a blast we have with each other. I laughed A LOT. It definitely gave me a boost from my blah mood. Looking fwd to hanging out with them a lot more this summer!!

SLEEPOVER TONITE WITH THE GIRLOS! YaaaAH. Can't wait!

We're going to parkwood tomorrow night for a creation vs. evolution thing too. Bob Dutko is speaking! He's this really good talk show host on the detroit christian radio station..WMUZ! Man i haven't listened to WMUZ in AGES. Well it should be good and free pizza and pop! Yeaa...free food hehe :)

Rain rain go away please come back another day...

I saw Shrek 2 yesterday...pretty hilarious! Good sequel...unlike most. Yea been watching a lot of movies since i got back. DVDs...movie channel etc. That's what i resort to when i have nothing to do.

My days are getting pretty...blah. I want to do something .. yet i don't. Agh apathy setting in...noooooooo. This is pretty contradictory to my last post. Maybe my mood is reflecting the weather outside. Blah blah blah...ljkasdf. Or maybe the weather is reflecting my mood. Pathetic fallacy...muahaha.

Hmm what do i have to look fwd to? Sleepover tomorrow night? (YAY something to do!) Camps? (english ministry and ACF) That i can hopefully go to. Visits to London and Toronto? Yeeaaa..hopefully those are possible too. School starting in sept? Uuuummm not that desperate yet!
